Spalding wasn't really that good , guys like Steven Tingay and Steven stretch in for Yeats and Spalding

Yes exactly, when they talk about this years draft being shallow they don't take into account The state leagues

Interesting

I couldn't open the link , but where does Bucky rate Brayshaw and Fritsch?

How does everybody know that Fritsch is even a target of ours?

The people who whinge about us paying too high a price are probaby the same ones who complain that we always get killed by the likes of Ben Brown and Joe Daniher , Josh Kennedy and the like. Make no mistake, if we had him this season we would have made the finals quite comfortably. i guess they would prefer an untried teenager at pick 18 or something than a intercept machine such as Lever. At some stage we have to make a tilt at the flag, now is the time.

Exactly! He is second only to McGovern in the AFL Make no mistake , this guy is a gun and will only get better as he develops a stronger body

Even if we win a premiership the whingers will still whinge about what we had to give up to achieve it.

The draft is a gamble, proven players like Lever are gold.

Happy it's done.... a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

He is only 21 and he is a gun, will soon become a fan favorite and will be a vital cog in our quest for the holy grail.

I don't believe the captain would tweet something like this if it wasn't a huge chance to happen. Personally I think it's just about over the line, just waiting for the Crows season to finish and the compensation picks agreed upon.

Kelly is going to the Blues and Essendon, and I'm Brian and so is my wife.

Lever has ruled out going to the dogs

I'd love to get Lever but wouldn't trade Hogan to get him, no way.

Love how he can sniff a goal or two, definitely holding his position and spot in the 22

Kelly is school mates with Hunt and Salem, we are also a destination club if this form keeps up. Also think our backline is looking good with the addition of Hibberd, the improvement of Omac and Frost and the wildcard Joel Smith.

Lever would be automatic first 18

Recruit of the year and probably doesn't need to tackle as much because he either spoils it or gets it himself.

Thrives playing on the big stage

Hibberd is a gun , and will be a permanent member of this side bar injury

I didn't realize Lever was key position

Petracca will be a superstar of the highest order, where as McCartin might develop into a very good player.

If we use this years second rounder, that means we are out of the first and second rounds, which hurts our chances of picking a decent player that we may have had our eye on, who could be that Forward/Ruck type we have been after.

Perhaps our strategy is to get really good support players and develop our own stars
